wip game
i was tagged by @allwaswell16 to post a snippet from a wip (thank you!!) so here’s a tiny bit of what was supposed to be a time stamp for my big bang fic Take a Chance on Me but has somehow turned into a full blown sequel because i hate free time apparently 😂 this takes place an indeterminate amount of time later (at least a year? maybe? idk i’m still early in the planning process) and contains spoilers for tacom so proceed with caution :p
The word echoes in his head even after she’s run off. Harry’s watching him warily, obviously trying to gauge his reaction to this new development.
Dad. She’d called him Dad.
It’s not like they haven’t discussed this before, late at night as they’re preparing for bed, conversation slowly transforming to whispers in the dark as they plan for things that Louis never even knew he wanted. Like, yeah, he’s always imagined himself having kids, but it was always a far off idea, a dream attached to a faceless bloke, and he was older and had his life together, and the faceless bloke wasn’t his boyhood crush.
(Harry had laughed for 15 bloody minutes straight the day Louis had finally admitted that, tears streaming as he gasped for breath while Louis pretended to be offended.)
Okay, maybe the faceless bloke was sometimes his boyhood crush. But that was just a fantasy; now it’s real and the babies aren’t babies or even one baby, in their place is a precocious 10 year old with a banana obsession and a penchant for dramatics. The faceless bloke actually is Harry Styles, and even after nearly a year of dating, that fact still hits him like a truck sometimes. (Mostly during sex. It’s quite inconvenient, really.)
He should he afraid. He should be tempted to run. He’s only 24, what does he know about raising a child? The thought should fucking terrify him.
But it doesn’t.
i tag @cosyblack and @kclenhartnovels and since everyone else i would have tagged has already done it this is an open invitation to do it again! (or for the first time if you haven’t :D)
